hi guys.. im planning to buy the refurbished MacBook from the apple store online.. Is the quality of the product really that good as they say in the website? also the graphics card is GMA 950.. im not a serious "gamer", so is it enough? Plz help me out.. im really confused

Several people here have bought a refurb. I have not purchased a refurb computer from apple yet. However I have purchased an airport extreme and ipod refurb and i have no complaints about either of them.

I bought a refurb MacBook Pro about 6 months ago. It was indistinguishable from a brand new computer. It looked brand new and worked perfectly, and still does. I highly recommend going the refurb route, you get a good as new computer and save a decent amount of money.

As for the graphics chip, if you aren't a gamer, it will be more than enough. My girlfriend has a MacBook and uses it for basically everything except gaming, and has never run into any problems.

I bought a refurbished Macbook 2.16 Core 2 Duo about three months ago. I am completely satisfied with the purchase. It saved me $100. The graphics performance is more than fine for my needs (internet, e-mail, making DVDs from home videos, watching HD videos, etc.). I wouldn't hesitate to buy another apple refurb product!
